You know, for so long I've been praying for God to help me love him more. And just now I realized: I do love God! I joke with him and laugh with him when I pray, and I love to look at His works and see everything He has made for my delight...

And coming to college and being in such a different environment, where so few people are Christian... It has made me a more loving person, it has made me wiser, it has made me notice my actions and how I act toward people more. And so far from weakening my beliefs, being with people who don't share them has only served to strengthen them! I'm a stronger Christian now than I was when I came to college, only a few months ago!

Father, bless me indeed!
You're all that I need!
Expand my horizons
Beyond what I see.
Put your hands upon
And keep me from evil
Today:
This is what I pray!

"Prayer of Jabez", by According to John
